Yeah I am not OK with this. Black-colored kits may look sleek but they're going to limit the color palettes of teams to ensure their home jerseys are succinct, and provide a bit of a color eyesore on the field, especially if the home side has darker color schemes themselves (Edmonton I'm looking at you). Additionally, this is a wasted opportunity for merchandising as no one is going to buy the black jerseys because they're all going to look generally the same.
Basically the league should ensure the field is populated with a "red vs. blue" situation (extremely contrasting colors), which giving the teams opportunity to fully design/customize their own kits with their preferred colors.
In addition to this, Cavalry switching to pure red and abandoning the Orange and green is kind of a slap in the face to the people who invested all that money into Cavalry last season and feel a sense of pride as being pioneers for the inaugural season.
